Hypertension (HTN) exerts a substantial public health burden on cardiovascular health status and healthcare systems in India. HTN is directly responsible for 57% of all stroke deaths and 24% of all coronary heart disease (CHD) deaths in India. Among the patients taking allopathic treatment, only about 25.6% of treated patients had their BP under control. This demands a treatment protocol which can give safer and effective results. Ayurveda in the form of Panchakarma, herbal and herbo-mineral drugs can offer a helping hand.
